Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white fashion portrait by photographer Ruven Afanador features a male subject with a styled mustache and textured cap, positioned centrally in the frame. He wears a dramatic white shirt adorned with voluminous feather trim along the collar and sleeves, paired with a tightly cinched black corset and high-waisted shorts that exaggerate the silhouette. His arms are raised, with his hands resting behind his head in a classic editorial pose. Prominent typographic text overlay reads 'CAP 74024' in metallic gradient lettering across the top, alongside additional handwritten script reading 'I'm watching you' in the lower right corner. The lighting is directional and soft, casting subtle shadows that emphasize the dramatic textures of the feathers and the smooth lines of the corset against a plain dark backdrop.
